[Xen-devel] RE: Avoid alloc for xsave before xsave_init
Hi Gang,
Was the issue caused by the uninitialized variable xsave_cntxt_size, triggering
problem for _xmalloc()? If so, one solution is to set xsave_cntxt_size=576 (the
default value after reset) as a default value. When xsave_alloc_save_area() is
called for idel VCPU, _xmalloc() will initialize 576 bytes. Idle domain doesn't
change xcr0 from my understanding. So its xcr0 is XSTATE_FP_SSE all the time.
Best,
-Wei

Subject: [Xen-devel] Avoid alloc for xsave before xsave_init
While debugging some weird booting failure bugs, just found currently,
xsave_alloc_save_area will be called in
init_idle_domain->scheduler_init->alloc_vcpu->vcpu_initialise calls, it is
earlier than xsave_init called in identity_cpu(). This may causing buffer
overflow on xmem_pool. I am thinking about how to fix it.
